How a gutter survey works in Loxhill
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet to drain properly. Sagging brackets and slipped joints leave water standing and overflowing at the low points. We check the line of each run as far as we can see it, along with the brackets and downpipe fixings. You get written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We’re often asked to look into leaks at the gutter joints and sagging gutters and loose brackets, across downpipes, fascias and soffits and parapet and box gutters.
In a small place like Loxhill, many roofs stand in the open, so ridges, chimney stacks, flashings and gutters work hard. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A written report sets out what to deal with and in what order. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to.

What a gutter survey doesn’t cover
Every survey has limits, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Confirming asbestos in older rainwater goods
- Underground drains, which need a CCTV drain survey
- Damage hidden inside walls or behind boards
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.

Roof by roof
Box and secret gutters
A secret gutter is tucked under the slates or tiles at an abutment or valley, so they’re easy to forget. The report records what could and couldn’t be seen.
Lead-lined valley and parapet gutters
Lead linings are common in valleys and parapet gutters on older houses. A split lining can leak straight into the building.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Loxhill questions
How do I find out if my home in Loxhill is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Witley station?
Of course. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
Do you survey at weekends?
Yes. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How do I arrange a gutter survey in Loxhill?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
What does the report include?
Written findings with photographs, covering the condition of the gutter, the defects we found and what we recommend, by urgency where it matters. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Gutter surveys around Loxhill
Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. If you own a rental within reach of Witley station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.

Leave it or get it looked at?
It’s easy to put damp down to the wrong cause. When rainwater goods are the source, treating the wall alone won’t solve it. Checking the gutters first helps you spend in the right place. Older and listed buildings around Loxhill may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Gutter survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Loxhill
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the gutter as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes an hour or two at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a small place like Loxhill, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We agree which parts of the building you’re most worried about.
- We look along each run for debris, sagging and drips.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- We check fascias, soffits and walls for water damage.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
